in memory of L. Ron Hubbard - 2017
American writer - USA

No other art form communicates L. Ron Hubbard's personal view of the world as do his poems and words, as he wrote verse throughout his life. In his youth and New York years as well as during his travels at sea his quest soared to higher spiritual states. Through the work Declaration of Peace, L. Ron Hubbard shouted to the world his call for a dream of Peace on this planet and through the International City project - to be established in North Africa - he offered a vision of Peace among nations. The Friends of L. Ron Hubbard Foundation, building on what L. Ron Hubbard desired and did in his lifetime for budding writers and poets, established the "Friends of L. Ron Hubbard Poetry Prize," bringing together and dialoguing with hundreds of poets from around the world, nurturing the inspirations of free spirits.

FOUZIA ASSOULI - 2017
President of the Euro-Mediterranean Women's Foundation and the Federation of the Democratic League for Women's Rights - MOROCCO

In Morocco, the activists of the Federation of the Democratic League for Women's Rights (FLDDF) are at the forefront of fighting all forms of discrimination against women.
Fouzia Assouli, its president, is the emblematic figure.
Since 1993, the League has met with residents to raise awareness of equality and citizenship through literacy courses, listening centres or through women 'human rights caravans' that roamed the country. There is no doubt that numerous actions were invaluable on the road that led to 10 October 2003: on that day, the king of Morocco, Mohamed VI, announced the Moudawana reform, the family code, revolutionising in its texts, the status of women, enshrining the principle of equality between men and women. An emblematic activist for women's rights in Morocco, Fouzia Assouli and the Federation are fighting: the fight against domestic violence, against the marriage of minors, for greater equality ...
In June 2014, they had assembled a feminist coalition to condemn the words of Islamist leader Abdelilah Benkirane who felt that work left 'no time [for the Moroccan] to marry, become a mother, or educate their children. [...] Moroccan homes went out when women went to work'.
Recently, the Federation has been campaigning for the decriminalisation of abortion. 'We want medical abortion to be completely decriminalised, to respect the woman's right to dispose of her body, but also the child's desire,' explains Fouzia Assouli. "A woman who wants to abort will always find a way to abort; if she has the means, she will find solutions in Morocco or abroad; if she is poor, she will fall into the hands of a charlatan. .
